Holden Street Theatres comprises of three performance spaces in two beautiful heritage listed church buildings in Hindmarsh South Australia, with our head office located at Thebarton Theatre. This increases to four performance spaces and two galleries through the Adelaide Fringe.

We have gained local, national and international recognition as a venue that supports new collaborations, produces internationally viable work and supports companies to develop high calibre productions.

In the past we have activated Adelaide Town Hall, The Royalty Theatre and vacant office blocks to offer fully equip, successful Fringe venues. If you would like us to discuss possibiliites of this for your show or venue, please contact us through the head office.

Features of Holden Street Theatres

Both buildings are heritage listed and boast beautiful wooden ceilings and incredible acoustics.

The original stained glass windows in The Arch are back lit which are used in conjunction with halogen lights in the ceiling to accentuate the wood and to create stunning house lights.

The Studio offers a more contemporary feel with it's black box style and can offer a more versatile canvas for designers. The configuration is adaptable and details on this can be obtained through the venue.

Technical Equipment of Holden Street Theatres

Our equipment is more than capable of handling the needs of most theatre, dance and musical productions including multiple shows through fringe. However, as many companies like to bring in their own equipment we are happy and able to accommodate this as well.

We are supported by Novatech Pty Ltd and can order equipment in for you or direct you to them should you need.

We also hire out some items such as our Silent Disco set up.
